From its inception in 1897, The Japan Times has been Japan’s premier English-language daily newspaper, providing comprehensive coverage of world and domestic news, business and politics.

Over its 114-year history, The Japan Times has consistently sought and upheld three goals. Those goals have supported The Japan Times over the years and made this newspaper distinctively different from other English-language publications.

Largest Circulation of All Domestic English-language Newspapers
The Japan Times has the largest circulation of all domestic English-language newspapers and reaches by far the largest number of non-Japanese readers living in Japan.

Quality Writing That Comes from Independent Reporting and Editorial Policy
The Japan Times follows an independent reporting and editorial policy. Its writers do not rely on material translated from Japanese; they write original material in English based on their own reporting, producing quality articles that The Japan Times is proud of.

Independent History over Three Centuries
The 114-year history of The Japan Times is proof of the widespread support and confidence it has enjoyed over the years.

No matter what changes times and circumstances bring, The Japan Times is confident that, as long as it maintains its distinctive features, it will continue to be the leading daily publication of its kind in Japan.
